Hi Dan,
Thanks for the reply. "PM" means...? Any suggestions on how one checks
("where one checks" would probably be more accurate) these router
settings? I did a manual setting input, emulating a successful hard-
wired IP setting copied from a G5 tower; its IP settings started with
192.xxx.x.x with a (I presume stock) subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and
a router address of 192.xxx.x.1 -
I was unsuccessful, and even TCP/IP balked at it.
No clue why it is giving me such trouble.
